30. Set three fitness goals and achieve them
Though I have a few crossed off - I still have a ways to go to hit them all before December. HOWEVER, you might notice that I am going to get to cross off #8 this weekend annnnd maybe even #5. A few months ago my Mom and I were chatting about how we needed a plan a weekend trip and I knew Chicago was on my list. I haven't ever been to Chi town and my mom hasn't been since she was little which means it will be an adventure for both of us. Since she is in Dallas and I'm in Tulsa we decided to take the EARLY (and I mean early, think 6 am) flights out and meet in Chicago. This way we wont feel like we wasted a day on travel and we wont spend $$ on an extra hotel night.
We have so many fun things planned - architectural tours by boat, Lincoln zoo, comedy show, shopping, bikes on the Navy Pier, French Market, Millennium Park, some great food stops, and I cant wait to share it all with you when we get back!
I've got these sassy earrings already packed! If you follow me on Instagram, then these are old news to you but holy wow. Accessory Concierge has some great pieces and soo sooo affordable. I think I paid a whopping $12 (sale on The View) but you can get them here for $28.
Fathers day weekend my entire immediate family (17! of us) and our extended family all headed up to the lake for our annual reunion. This chunky monkey, sporting his daddies 80's threads, was hamming it up the entire time. We had such a good time. Lots of quality time with the people you love most, sunny weather, the lake, the sunshine... its all good for the soul. Whats not so great is when that ham of a 9 month old leaves you with a sinus infection and bronchitis. How is it that kids have a runny nose but as adults it becomes this knock down drag out - my brains have turned into mucus - fight?
I mentioned a few posts back that I am doing a weight loss challenge at work, winner gets 500 bones and an apple watch. Needless to say, I've been eating VERY clean lately. 7lbs down so far and three weeks left to go. I'm currently sitting in third place but on a mission to win!!
And lastly, we have officially got our first RIPE mater from the garden! I didnt think it would ever happen since the birds/squirrels/rabbits kept taking bites out of our ALLLLMOST ripe maters but it did. The day finally came that I was able to go grab that juicy babe from the vine.
So now its your turn, whats been going on in your world? Any great 4th of July plans?
